@ladynikon: "Greetings,
I am trying to setup postgres and postfix using webmin.  I am
following this guide:
<url>
I received the following in the postgres db section of webmin:
 select * from pg_database order by datname failed : no pg_hba.conf
entry for host "[local]", user "postgres", database "template1", SSL
off
I sadly have no clue on how to go by fixing this.  Please help :)  It
talks about this error in the guide.  But it really does not tell you
how to fix it specifically.  I don't even see a section in the area
specified for the authentication they are suggesting.
Operating system 	Gentoo Linux
Webmin version 	1.350
I believe the problem is in this section.
# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
host all all 83.161.120.155 83.161.120.155 trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         83.161.120.155/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4/128               trust
I could be wrong.  Please help the newb.

Hard to say w/o seeing the WHOLE file.  You're looking in the
wrong section.
What you need to make sure is that the line William posted
*isn't* commented out.

TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster"
    @andrejgroups: "<quote>
Firstly I fail to see the difference between the before and after.
Secondly you don't have a line that begins with local. Add the
following line to your file (was the stuff you just posted the entire file?)
and restart postgres.
local   all         postgres                          ident sameuser
Thirdly you're still top-posting :}

TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend"
    @ladynikon: "Here is the entire file.
# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide, chapter "Client
# Authentication" for a complete description.  A short synopsis
# follows.
#
# This file controls: which hosts are allowed to connect, how clients
# are authenticated, which PostgreSQL user names they can use, which
# databases they can access.  Records take one of these forms:
#
# local      DATABASE  USER  METHOD  [OPTION]
# host       DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTION]
# hostssl    DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTION]
# hostnossl  DATABASE  USER  CIDR-ADDRESS  METHOD  [OPTION]
#
# (The uppercase items must be replaced by actual values.)
#
# The first field is the connection type: "local" is a Unix-domain socket,
# "host" is either a plain or SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, "hostssl" is an
# SSL-encrypted TCP/IP socket, and "hostnossl" is a plain TCP/IP socket.
#
# DATABASE can be "all", "sameuser", "samegroup", a database name, or
# a comma-separated list thereof.
#
# USER can be "all", a user name, a group name prefixed with "+", or
# a comma-separated list thereof.  In both the DATABASE and USER fields
# you can also write a file name prefixed with "@" to include names from
# a separate file.
#
# CIDR-ADDRESS specifies the set of hosts the record matches.
# It is made up of an IP address and a CIDR mask that is an integer
# (between 0 and 32 (IPv4) or 128 (IPv6) inclusive) that specifies
# the number of significant bits in the mask.  Alternatively, you can write
# an IP address and netmask in separate columns to specify the set of hosts.
#
# METHOD can be "trust", "reject", "md5", "crypt", "password",
# "krb4", "krb5", "ident", or "pam".  Note that "password" sends passwords
# in clear text; "md5" is preferred since it sends encrypted passwords.
#
# OPTION is the ident map or the name of the PAM service, depending on METHOD.
#
# Database and user names containing spaces, commas, quotes and other special
# characters must be quoted. Quoting one of the keywords "all", "sameuser" or
# "samegroup" makes the name lose its special character, and just match a
# database or username with that name.
#
# This file is read on server startup and when the postmaster receives
# a SIGHUP signal.  If you edit the file on a running system, you have
# to SIGHUP the postmaster for the changes to take effect.  You can use
# "pg_ctl reload" to do that.
# Put your actual configuration here
# 
#
# If you want to allow non-local connections, you need to add more
# "host" records. In that case you will also need to make PostgreSQL listen
# on a non-local interface via the listen_addresses configuration parameter,
# or via the -i or -h command line switches.
#
# CAUTION: Configuring the system for local "trust" authentication allows
# any local user to connect as any PostgreSQL user, including the database
# superuser. If you do not trust all your local users, use another
# authentication method.
# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD
#local is for Unix domain socket connections only
host template1  postfix, postfixadmin  all 83.161.120.155 83.161.120.155 trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         83.161.120.155/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
#host    all         all         888a:dbb7:2d49:b3f6:8605:bf4e:caed:e5a4/128               trust
Could someone please take a look at this and tell me what I am doing
wrong.  Apparently I have something commented that I shouldn't but I
don't know what that is.  Sorry if I sound like a complete moron.. but
I am trying to learn.
Thanks,

    @andrejgroups: "<quote>
The line you're missing isn't commented out, it's not andrew77@example.net.  Just add it to the file and restart postgres.
local   all         postgres                          ident sameuser
Those lines that have a "local" in them in your file are using
IP rather than the unix socket.

Now all I have to do is figure out how to login.  My old username and

               <url>"
    @andrejgroups: "<quote>
So you were able to connect to the database with webmin
before this change?  In that case you may want a similar
line for your own user account (rather than the postgres
one you just added) and make the authorisation whatever
you used in the host based statement.
